Seen from the last pictures they used stock type hangers, when had duels installed on the 2012 he used universal type hangers with rubber strap. I really didn't like the unused bracket on side of the frame, maybe straps better about vibration don't know. Going to get more info before install on my new truck. All clean welds Magnafow muffler duel to rear with 18" chrome tips $389 on the 2012

found pictures of 2012 installed and answered my questions , Magnaflow muffler smaller than huge OE muffler and used different hanger and another mounting location

Finally had the tips moved to rear quarter flush and with a slight stagger.   Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Anyone have an idea of where I'd be able to get black chrome exhaust tips. The ones are the far left are what I'm after.

Go online and type Black chrome exhaust tips and several suppliers are listed Summit Racing ,Carid and others. Maybe a Silverline tip

Has anyone tried a 14" magnaflow while leaving the flapper valve and resonator in place?

Yes. Sounds like the truck was farting. Then went with 14 inch with duel turndowns before the rear end. That sound was MEAN in V8. V4 sounds like you are trying to outrun a Blackhawk helicopter. Would not recommend unless you only use manual mode or have V4 tuned out. TRUST ME lol.

Straight thru. You will loose some back pressure and some low end Tq. BUT... around 3 or 4,000 RPM sounds and runs great.

 

GM did a buyback on the Red truck so the dealership didn't even look at it when I went in to pick up the Ruby truck. After I pulled out my good floor mats and put them in the Ruby truck to leave I made it a point to hang around for a min to watch the salesman pull the Red truck around back. He almost si#t his pants and immediately shut the truck back off thinking something was wrong. :crackup:

So I'm guessing 18" magnaflow is the way to go. I would like to keep the flapper valve and resonator at first.

I wouldn't know. Sounds logical. Im thinking about trying a Flowmaster with the flapper and delete the resonator. IDK? DAMMMM V4!!!! lol. I still have a complete brand new exhaust system off the red truck. I can cut the flapper off it and run a Flowmaster 40 single in duel flappers out with turndowns. lol . HEY!.. That might just work. GENIOUS!

No. SouthernSilveradoGuy85 likes it too. I love drone. I once said embrace the drone. But it is pulsing, shaking , chopper that I don't like. What do you think about the double flapper idea?

I might just give it a try when it warms up a little.LOL Maybe put some external mini big rig style flaps. Like on the sportsman dragster headers. Nice and Redneck.

Ah, yes, I remember that post... "Embrace the DRONE!" :lol: I believe I quoted you on that a few times!

 

Yeah, I like the double flapper idea. Be sure to file a quick patent application. That way, when GM decides it's a good idea for all trucks, you'll be sure to get your cut! :cheers:

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?
